My younger brother Lü Fengxian

Chapter 141: A Few Trash

"The manager of the Zhen family stationed in Mayi has already purchased the horses of the Lu family caravan and is now on his way back to Zhongshan!"

"According to the spies I arranged in Mayi, some of the horses sold by Lu Yi to the Zhen family were branded with the family seals of Wang Fu and others."

Su Shuang's face turned pale as he conveyed this very bad information to everyone.

"This means that Lu Yi's caravan not only returned safely from the border, but also defeated the coalition forces of Wang Fu and others!"

"Since we haven't received any news from Wang Fu and others yet, there can only be one possibility!"

"That means Wang Fu and his men were completely wiped out by Lu Yi outside the Great Wall. Not even one of them escaped alive!"

Zhang Shiping took over Su Shuang's words with an extremely solemn tone.

"What! Wang Fu and the others are all dead?"

"Wang Fu's coalition army has more than a thousand good fighters, but doesn't Lu Yi's caravan only have two hundred guards? Even if we include the drivers, there are only three hundred people at most. Even if they defeat Wang Fu's one thousand men, how can they leave no one alive?"

"Even if Lu Yi had to kill a thousand pigs, it's not possible that not a single one would escape, right?"

After hearing such explosive news, everyone was in disbelief.

"It's no use saying these things now!"

"We were able to eliminate the 1,000-strong coalition of the Wang Fu family without making any noise. Even if we, the Zhongshan Chamber of Commerce, work together, we may not be able to do this."

Zhang Shiping sighed.

"This Lu Yi has become a powerful figure now. We, the Zhongshan Chamber of Commerce, cannot face him alone!"

Su Shuang also sighed.

It is unrealistic to let these profiteers take action themselves and fight against Lu Yi, who has unknown forces and allies outside the Great Wall.

The two of them understood that the reason these people were able to join the Chamber of Commerce they founded and were willing to contribute a large part of their interests was to take advantage of the network of relationships and protection they had woven.

Now this layer of protection net has been smashed into a big hole by the stubborn Lu Yi, and it is no longer convincing.

The only way to remedy the situation is to use the network of relationships behind him to suppress and defeat Lu Yi according to official rules, and to save some face for their alliance that is on the verge of collapse.

However, although the network of relationships is powerful, it cannot be used without conditions.

Not only does daily maintenance require a lot of money from Su Shuang and Zhang Shiping.

Each use requires a considerable amount of money.

This level of expenditure has already given Su Shuang and Zhang Shiping a headache, so they gathered everyone together to share the expenses.

"Brother Su, are you planning to use the adult behind you?" Someone couldn't help but widen his eyes when he heard this.

"That lord has too strong a background. How could he possibly deal with a small pavilion chief himself? His subordinates can easily deal with Lu Yi. But even so, the price would be too high."

Su Shuang looked at everyone with a serious expression.

"I called everyone here this time just to get together and make this happen."

"This……"

When everyone heard this, their faces became even uglier when they heard that they had to pay for it themselves.

……

As soon as Lu Yi arrived in Jiuyuan County, Wang Li put aside his few official duties and took Lu Yi directly to Wuyuan County in a carriage.

It seems that for Wang Li, meeting his cousins ​​is much more important than his job.

Fortunately, Lü Yi was also anxious to meet Wang Zhi, who was known for his greed, so he happily went with him. After two days of traveling, Lü Yi and his party arrived at Wuyuan County.

A county town is a county town after all.

Even a desolate prefecture like Bingzhou was built in a magnificent manner.

It is far from comparable to Lu Yi's Lu Wu.

Moreover, because it is located in the frontier, although Wuyuan County City is not as prosperous as Zhongshan County City, its defense level is no less than that of Zhongshan County City. It is obviously a tough nut to crack.

That's right. If the border town is not built stronger, it will not be able to resist the repeated looting by the Hu people from the south.

Under Wang Li's familiar leadership, everyone entered the city and came to a magnificent mansion.

Seeing that Lu Yi seemed confused, Wang Li, who had received many benefits from him, explained to him with a smile.

"As a rule, the prefecture officials, county magistrates, county governors and other officials in the court do not repair government offices."

"But my cousin Wang Zhi is extravagant by nature and doesn't like the simplicity of the Wuyuan County government office. Therefore, except for special circumstances, he usually works and receives guests in his own house. That's why I brought Sixiao here."

"However, my cousin is very particular about rules. He even has to inform me when I come to visit him. Please wait a moment. My cousin will receive you soon."

"So that's how it is! Governor Wang is truly elegant, and a country bumpkin like me cannot compare to him."

Lu Yi nodded and said something perfunctorily.

However, it caused a burst of ridicule when heard by several doormen dressed in brocade and silk clothes.

"Hehe, you are just a random guy who came out of nowhere. How can you compare yourself with my master? It's really laughable."

"That's right. Why don't you ask what kind of person my master is? If Wang Li hadn't brought you here, I'm afraid you wouldn't even be qualified to stand in front of my master's door. We would have beaten you away long ago."

"Just wait patiently, and don't say anything more. You're ruining our good mood for nothing!"

After a few sarcastic remarks, the doormen kept silent and pretended to take a nap by the door.

"You're looking for death! How dare you insult my elder brother!" Before Lu Yi could say anything, Gao Shun behind him became furious. He immediately grabbed his sword and wanted to shut up these villains who despised his elder brother.

Although he always regarded himself as Lu Yi's younger brother and had not formally acknowledged him as his master, in Gao Shun's heart, he had long regarded Lu Yi as his only lord in this life and would be loyal to him forever.

As the saying goes, if the master is humiliated, the minister will die. No matter how taciturn he is on weekdays, he can't hold back the anger in his heart at this moment.

But his sword was only half drawn out when it was firmly grasped by a strong hand.

Lu Yi just shook his head gently at him, and even though Gao Shun was angry, he immediately and obediently put the sword back into the scabbard.

"What are you going to do!"

"Do you want to act wildly in front of the governor's mansion?"

"I think you are tired of living!"

At first, several doormen were so frightened by Gao Shun's murderous aura that they almost fell to the ground.

Seeing that Gao Shun had lost his threat after being suppressed by Lu Yi, they jumped out in frustration and started yelling and scolding Gao Shun.

"Please forgive me, my brother and I are both rough men from the countryside. We don't know the rules and offended you. Please accept the money for the tea. I will just apologize to you on behalf of my brother!"

Lu Yi smiled and took out a few gold cakes from his arms.
